Fusing the art and science of bodybuilding

People argue about whether it’s the art or the science of bodybuilding that will help you build the best physique. In truth, it’s both, says Dr David Sandler

David Sandler is a S&C coach, fitness researcher and co-founder of training and nutrition company StrengthPro. He is based in Golden, Colorado.

‘Is it the art or science that comes first? For most of us, we all wanted to look like Arnie and that’s what started it in the first place. So the art fuels the passion to get into training. But you need to understand the science and the physiology. There should be a meshing of both the art and the science.’
